Speedycat,
You are correct, it shouldn't be considered a straw purchase. But it IS. It is not what should or shouldn't be that puts a person in jail, it's what IS against the law. Buying a gun from an FFL for another person using their money, obtained from them either before or after the purchase, IS a straw purchase, regardless of the legality of that other person to possess that gun.
